Bring On Lemons

  I saw this advertisement on Facebook and I was drawn to head downtown Manitowoc to one of my all time favorite restaurants! We were greeted warmly by the lovely Shannon and had a most relaxing and enjoyable evening! The food at Harborside is absolutely wonderful, the portions are ridiculously large (don't let your 11 year old son get the adult size burger...even my little manchild can't finish that bad boy)! The salads are delicious, the desserts are sure to please, and the drink menu is never boring. One of my youngest daughters swears by the bacon wrapped shrimp - and she's right - best appetizer in the world! All around this is a 5 star dining experience in Manitowoc - friendly staff, comfortable and clean establishment, and fantastic food! This is the type of restaurant you can go to as a family, or you can get a sitter and make it romantical ... I took the kiddos and as always, they were welcomed with open arms (and a lovely gent even treated them to a dessert becaus...

  Granny Beet Appetizer Ingredients: granny smith apple - cored and sliced (I prefer not peeled) beets (shown is canned pickled but I've used fresh as well as canned non-pickled; this is personal preference at it's finest) feta cheese honey dried cranberries spinach (fresh) pistachios (shelled) None of the ingredients are measured - because it honestly depends what you like the most of and how many people you are serving and what your ratio preference is. Instructions: Start with a fancy tray and cover the tray with fresh spinach leaves at the center of the tray place your crumbled feta cheese surrounded or intermingled with the cranberries organize the apple sliced as desired (if you're preparing ahead, you'll want to stop the apples from browning by using some sugar water with a splash of lemon juice) sprinkle on the pistachios then drizzle honey across the top This is something you can serve with crackers, fresh bread, or just by itself. I'm not a fan of too many...
